  Or just run Jellyfin on your desktop and sync the phone app from time to time. Finamp even allows downloads, so no connection to the server needed at all times.

    That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

    I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

  I’ve always wondered that. Why use linux server’s images over official ones? Are they somehow better?

    When I first used Jellyfin, the official Docker image didn’t have AMD video acceleration working out of the box and the LinuxServer one did.

    LinuxServer images often solve problems and work out of the box better than the official option.

    I think I’m right in saying they have a standardised and reliable option for running as a none-root user too.

    For normal docker self hosters the biggest is similar structures across their images.

    It config is always /config

    Also they run the same user so it helps with file permission issues

      Hmm, never looked at it this way. I might start using their images too. Question about the user: is the root in the docker container same as root of the host? I thought it was root but only in the container. And in terms of volume ownership: if I’m using Docker volumes instead of bind mounts, do I care about that? I haven’t had an issue so far.

    They’re relatively easy to deploy.

  Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you achieve with self-hosting music? What do you do with it? If it’s only on localhost then I could just play the music locally? what is it for? :)

    I forward it to my domain, so that I can listen to music in my office or anywhere else.

    I have a VPS on hetzner, and I forward all my local traffic through that VPS via TLS-passthrough, not TLS termination using WireGuard amd HAProxy.

    Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

    3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

    Not all these devices support local storage for music and it’s a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.

      That actually makes a lot of sense, thanks!

    jellyfin is a streaming server. get yourself a domain name and you can connect your apps to it from anywhere.

  • christophski@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone

  I got jellyfin ln my synology nas. Been working fine for a year or two now. Finamp is the dedicated audio app for that.
